No offense....but 22 yards doesn't tell the story.  ANY load/choke will perform at 22 yards.   Back up to 40 and shoot again  :icon_thumright:

Cool....I have seen some VERY good lead patterns....If you gun/choke/load shoots high numbers with lead you are in business  :icon_thumright:

Nothing wrong with that pattern, should roll some heads no problem.

189 with lead is a FANTASTIC pattern in my opinion  :icon_thumright:

The EXACT combo I used for years before going to Winchester XRHD.  It killed a lot of birds for me.  About the same numbers I used to get also.  Winchester XRHD and an IC choke upped my numbers about 40 pellets, but the lead combo your using never let me down.
